I have descended from my ivory tower and read a fiction book that was written in the 2000s…and I had such a fun time doing it! Andy Weir weaves science into his stories so well, and I loved the relationship between Grace and Rocky. Finally, as far as tropes go, humans and aliens trying to teach each other their respective languages is one of my favorites.
I read through this book so fast, it was such a fun ride. I despised the main character, but the story and Rocky made up for it to me. A lot of the science stuff went over my head and I sped through it, excited for the movie!
